Re: Ebox 10 Gbits upgrade for Videotron TPIA Wonder which type of "does not support" we're talking about...
1- no spare 10G ports and 10G line cards are back-ordered
2- no spare card slot, getting a new router and/or shuffling stuff to free up some ports
3- the equipment does support 10G but is overdue for replacement so not worth upgrading, new equipment is back-ordered
4- the equipment is so old that it actually does not support 10G, which pegs it at 10+ years old vintage
Since Videotron was boasting about their state-of-the-art network a year or so ago, it should not be option #4. |

I hope you guys will be able to put sufficient pressure on them so that this situation doesn't turn into a Rogers-type upgrade thing.

In any case, glad to see Videotron is owing up to their claim of being willing to cooperate with TPIA ISPs by not making much of a fuss about upgrading them to 10G. |

kudos:22 | I have a feeling that the Videotron rep is female and can't resist diskace's charm which would explain why Videotron gives diskace such a good service 
diskace: did you specifically ask for this, or did Videotron come to you and tell you that within 3 months 10g links would be available ?
When did this offer come ? This could be due to the part 1 from CNOC since with 10g links, it postpones by quite some time the need to provide load balancing across multiple links. |

If the past is any indication, the relationships are extremely different.

If the past is any indication, the relationships are extremely different. And the fact that Videotron is single POI aggregation, as far as I remember.

Except now they've only just been given the capability to do unlimited transfer (effectively) and it will be a true test to see if the Videotron nodes can withstand the load since Videotron's own service has been largely capped. |

This is info from about 2 years ago, but from what was stated Videotron put in new nodes when 60% of it was full. The average node was running one 120-200 people, unlike Rogers who put 400 people on the same node. Something like that.. the info was in the Videotron forum if anyone cares to search for it.
However, 2 years is a long time in telecom years. Things could be very different now. |
